Racism
When empathy and love shall abide in the conscience of man, racism shall cease to be a problem to humanity.

Plastic is eating Earth alive, bit by bit, it is slowly destroying our only potential home. There are 7.5 billion of us in the world right now and more than half of us use plastic items in our daily lives. Some items include bags, bottles, containers, cutlery, plates, straws, cups, decorations and hundreds more! This is absolutely horrifying. Worse, humans are producing 300 million tons of plastic every year! So, why is plastic so harmful to the environment? Unlike other materials we use and dispose of, such as glass, paper, wood or metal, the material, plastic takes hundreds, even thousands...
God Bless America, a phrase used so poorly by those who reside in such a baren and divided country to boast our so-called pride in our nation. How have we come from such humble, honest beginnings yet turned to such violent, bloodbath conflicts? To this day, we still struggle to unite the nations of this world and unite our people. Instead of loving our neighbors, we harbor resentment and fear against them. How long will it take for us to remove the covers we have placed on our eyes, and truly see what it takes to change the world than destroy it. When will our nations cease to exist as...
Hello, I'm Muskaan and I hope to educate people around me on issues related to the environment and also some ways in which any ordinary human being can contribute! I love drawing and to see more of me, check out my IG account @muskaancreatesart. As many of you probably know, from tigers in Asia to polar bears in the Arctic, climate change is having a catastrophic impact on animals all around the world. One of the most endangered animals are penguins, specifically the Northern Rockhopper Penguin. The Northern Rockhopper Penguin lives in the South Atlantic Ocean. Sadly, in the last 70 years...
I have cherished you since your birth. But I am afraid you never knew my worth. You scathed me, hurt me, took me for granted. I can never recall your care for me, the memories are fainted. With your advancements, you choked me. I coughed out loud, yet you turned out to glee. I can't take any of it anymore. I have cried enough now my eyes are sore. I won't ever bring you rain, until you stop inflicting this pain. I won't make the seeds grow, even though, I feel melancholic down low. Now I need from you, a break. I will no longer put my life on stake for your sake.
Planet Earth is not dying, humanity is. Planet Earth has survived for 4.5 billion years and it will survive even after the end of humanity. If we want humanity to survive we have to make things right. We have to make change happen. In today’s world everyone deserves to voice their thoughts and opinions, including us, the youth. Our futures are already dark and are getting darker by the minute. We have to save ourselves, we have to now decide how our futures are going to be and we have to do it fast before someone else makes this decision for us! Young people have the brilliant ideas, the ideal...
The Perfect Harmony~ Where the sky is sparkly blue, Where the sun is bright shine, Where the birds are chirping melodiously, Where the cold breeze touches your face, Where you feel loved and protected, Where you feel nurtured and rejuvenated is in the lap of Mother Nature. As far as I can see beauty lies all around me, The lush greenery the beautiful creek, The water running over the pebbles, Their lies serenity, The perfect harmony.
How horrendous is it inside the war zone? The echo of anguished cry and silent moan Resonates all over but can’t be heard As the war is noisy and jarred. On the Earth where flowers blossom, I see stains of blood. This bizarre sight gives me viperish dreads. Deepens my fright with sleepless nights. The purity of the soil gone. Father no more for a newborn. Hearts shattered and lives thrown. Endless tears on cheeks rolling down. Malice caused for the love of his nation, Turns out to be fiendish for humanity. Ain't the right way to express his affection, By harming another country. Killing and...
Excellencies, Presidents, Leaders, When, in the early morning, in a mist of cloudy weather, you enter your office, sit down and start working, what do you hear, what do you smell? Human voices, the perfume of freshly made coffee, sun rays shining a light on your working table? After having worked long hours you return home and in your bedroom, in the silence of the night, you can sleep knowing that the following day you’ll get up again, in a mist of cloudy weather. Solving wars, finding impossible solutions, achieving equality, relieving the plight of millions is your everyday task and we all...
Sometimes it seems to me that we forget to listen to how nature screams in pain. We were ignoring all these negative signs of climate change for so long... That 's why it's never too late for action. I decided to reduce 3 things by the end of this year: plastic, meat consumption, paper use. I have listed the books that would help me to understand this problem deeper. What about you?
“More masks than jellyfish”, says an article published in The Guardian. According to the article, a group of divers found disposable masks and latex gloves, floating like jellyfish beneath the turquoise waves of the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. Several media outlets have since been reporting of such sightings across the world, and many environmental organizations are constantly voicing concerns over the rising levels of a new kind of trash, COVID waste, making its way into our already polluted water bodies. Billions of face masks and gloves are being used and discarded by people every day...
In the excitement of trip planning and anticipation of visiting a new destination, it’s easy to overlook the ethical implications of travel. In order to preserve the world they love exploring, travelers must be conscious of the ways in which their tourism impacts the environment and local communities. While what it means to travel ethically changes from destination to destination, there are several key points you can follow to travel the world responsibly and mindfully. Ethical travel requires some effort and forethought, but if you’ve been fortunate enough to experience the joys of travel...
On Thursday morning, it started to rain around 9.30-10am. At that time, I was in a community management training. There was loud noise of rain and thunder. At the end of the training around 12:30, I witnessed a shocking scene: water was everywhere. Once I arrived in my neighborhood, called “Quatier 2”, the situation was even worse, with water ditches and all the streets covered in murky water. There was no passage cross the sudden river that had emerged but to get inside an empty discarded fridge that everyone was using as a canoe to get to the other side. The evening of Friday 22 of November...
This image clearly depicts the beauty of fireworks. Something a lot of us reading this completely adore and cherish. But each thing has a pro and a con. The worst part of fireworks not that they don't last forever, it's the pollution that follows. Its the dreaded carbon footprint rising to big heights and leading to ozone depletion! This is often known as a 'guilty pleasure' . Please do not give in to this! Try not get persuaded to support activities that promote environmental degradation. I'm sure a set of beautiful constellations seen in the clear night sky are equally magical.
I Remember I remember oceans trembling and spilling gently with water. I remember dew drops glistening on pinecones, roses and buttercups reflecting the colours of spice blush and butter Barefoot and silent, I remember cupping mouthfuls of fresh river water picking up dried up petals . I remember those beautiful days. Those beautiful days when the sun glowed just right. Those beautiful days when the wind swooped gently soothing the harsh sunlight. Once, this entire ground filled crimson and coffee barks and peeping through the bushels of leaves I saw red flecked cardinals sitting there...
